She sat right down on the sofa
I said, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you."
'Cause last night I had something so good
These days get so long and I got nothing to do

I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town so long
I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way too long

We spend all day getting sober
Just hiding from daylight, watching TV
We just look a lot better in the blue light
Well, you know I gotta get out
But I'm stuck so tight weighed by the chains that keep me

Hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town too long
I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way too long
Well everybody twist

He don't understand
I'm just tryin' to scurry up a little

This girl listens to the band play
She says, "Where have you been? I've been lying right here on the floor."
Well, I got all this time to be waiting for what is mine
To be hating what I am
After the light has faded
Hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town so long
I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way too, way

I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way long
I been hanginaround this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way
Way, way, way, way too long

Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
